Missed this (watching '42' with the fam, egads) but wonder how far into Howie Rose's nightly lecture about how much Lucas Duda sucks that it went out.

As Billy Bones was known to say in 'Treasure Island': "Ahh, Hawkins me boy"

Jesus H. Christ. That's what I'm reading right now. At my current pace, I should be done by Sunday night, early Monday morning.

So was it Bones who kept saying 'Hawkins me boy' or was it his rival whose name I can't remember right now?

I don't think I've read that book since my father read it to me and my sister a bunch of decades ago, but the 'Hawkins me boy' line still sticks in my head.

When I read that book for school I would listen to Scheherazade, the classical instrumental piece. It was like the perfect soundtrack.

I'm not sure. Bones departs pretty early on in the book. If I hadda guess, I'd say the treacherous Long John Silver, who throughout the book, tries to conceal his intentions from Hawkins by acting friendly.
